- Norman's paper is (a) a decade out-of-date and (b) extraordinarily
- inaccurate, as it was when published. In my opinion, it represents
- the uninformed rantings of someone who is simply too lazy to read the
- manuals and therefore should not be using a computer at all.
-
- I'd suggest Rob Pike's 'cat -v considered harmful' as an excellent
- starting point.
